The Mando Footloose is not a bicycle because it doesn’t have a way for the rider to directly drive the wheel. This is not an ebike, it’s an electric scooter with a pedal powered battery charger. This is really very silly because there is so little efficiency in charging the battery this way. It is far more efficient for the rider to drive the wheel. And when the battery is dead, it can’t be pedaled.
